Looks like super mega ultra ginormous Starbucks isn't feeling so big and powerful these days.They are testing the sales of $1 cups of coffee that also include free refills in some stores in Seattle. Though Starbucks just recently raised coffee prices across the board, it seems that this testing is a response to stiffer competition from lower-priced coffee at fast food chains. McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, and other companies sell their coffee for just over a dollar.
That's nice of Starbucks to price-match, but even if the $1 test passes and is expanded across the entire business, I doubt I would go into Starbucks. I actually prefer McDonald's coffee.
